The Tempest revisited

[merlocmod]

Just a brief post... having caught the matinee of The Tempest today with a couple of excellent friends, and then the Q+A afterwards... which was graciously attended by the lovely Jessie Buckley (Miranda) and Roger Allam (Prospero). ♥

This post includes spoilers for the production and for Colin's role in it.

Such a shame! I missed you! :( I was there today, I haven't seen the matinee but I caught up with some friends afterwards who saw it. One of them has to leave tomorrow morning, so we waited for Colin at the stage door, and therefore I missed the Q&A as well... damn!

Sadly, Colin left secretly, because he somehow hurt his back and got treated for it. A guy from the Globe or ensemble told us about it. I really hope he'll be fine again tomorrow, because then it's my turn to finally see the play.

I'm glad you had a great time with Roger and Jessie, it sounds lovely! And thanks so much for the report, so at least I've got an idea of what was going on. ;)

He didn't disappoint, he was absolutely fine yesterday! *phew* ;) Of course, I can't tell if there was any downplay, but it didn't seem that way.
It was a brilliant play, and I can't to see it again in July. ;)

Thought of you and keeping my fingers crossed that Colin's okay, so you can see him on stage!

No worries, everything was fine yesterday... more than fine in fact, it was amazing! Gosh, what a play! :D

Glad you had so much fun and now I'm looking forward even more to next Wednesday!
